CONDITION
DISC
Labels: MINT -
A perfect pair with just one or possibly two tiny spindle trails around each completely unworn centre hole.
Visual: MINT -
Flawless, factory-fresh playing surfaces which are unmarked but in strong daylight AND directly beneath halogen light. A true final upgrade.
Audio: MINT -
Played once or twice at most, the sound quality on this disc is exceptional. There are no traces of any audible faults or wear and it will not disappoint.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A clean, fully intact example of this easily blemished cover which apart from minor storage/age wear, is hard to fault. The striking front panel is clean & glossy with just a hint of storagewear to the laminate but no 'thumbnail' wrinkles anywhere. There are tiny shelfwear bruises to the tips of 3 corners but no damage to the opening edges. The exposed rear panel is clean overall but has some toning to the edges. All flipbacks are in-place and both seams and the spine are smooth and unworn.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
Clean & uncreased with no writing, tear or seam splits.
